Emad Al-Janabi, 43, a former detainee, sued CACI, which provided interrogators at the prison, and L-3, which provided translators, according to a statement issued yesterday by his lawyers. He accused the companies of torture, war crimes and civil conspiracy in the complaint filed in federal court in Los Angeles.
``We want the complete truth about Abu Ghraib to be told,'' Al-Janabi said in the statement.
In November, a federal judge in Washington said CACI must defend a lawsuit by Iraqi prisoners that seeks class-action, or group, status and accuses the military contractor of assault and battery and wrongful death. In a revised complaint filed the following month, lawyers identified 250 former prisoners who were suing CACI. The judge in that case threw out similar claims against L-3 ...
The case is Emad Khudhayir Shahuth al-Janabi v. Steven A. Stefanowicz, 08-2913, U.S. District Court, Central District of California (Los Angeles).
